PHP hosting platform features

PHP DevOps as a service

NodeChef takes care of the hard stuff like running your PHP containers in production, scaling, builds using buildpacks and many others. We support the php-cli, php-cgi and php-fpm runtimes. Both configurable httpd and nginx web servers are supported.

High performance SSD servers

NodeChef takes care of the underlying infrastructure that your applications are running on.
NodeChef uses high performance SSD bare metal servers. All apps and databases run on dedicated resources: CPU, RAM and storage.

Database Support

Our DBAs bring many years of experience in database management. We provide management tools on par and above
DBaaS providers. Databases run on dedicated resources and supports continuous backups, data recovery and slow query profiling.

Automatic HTTPS

Secure connections on all domains are standard.
TLS Certificates are provided by Let's Encrypt and installed automatically. You can also upload your own certificate from the dashboard.

PHP Performance Monitoring

NodeChef provides you with uptime metrics for your instances, response latency of your application containers, real-time structured HTTP logs as well as CPU and memory usage of all instances.

Scalable & Reliable PHP Hosting

The Nodechef load balancers only routes traffic to containers in the running state. Clients will never experience any downtime when one or more containers are down

The Elastic load balancer supports websockets, scales elastically to match incomming traffic and can also be configured to automatically force all clients to connect using only TLS/SSL, redirect to a specific host name as well as enforce sticky sessions.

Production-grade PHP runtime

Nodechef provides zero downtime vertical and horizontal scalability for PHP apps. Containers can be added and removed on demand with a single click of a button. The platform also supports the ability to declare rules to automatically scale your cluster.

NodeChef supports startup bash scripts and the ability to declare ubuntu packages required in your runtime. For example you can declare you want "libmagickcore5-extra" in the container running your PHP app and NodeChef will automatically
install it for you

Nodechef provides you with all the APM metrics that matter to monitor your PHP application such as uptime metrics, response and connect latency from the load balancer to your PHP app containers, real-time structured HTTP logs, CPU and memory usage of all containers in realtime.
